* Eventually, Todd reveals what he thinks he ''can'' contribute to the discussion around such a talked-to-death song: personal familiarity with the region of Virginia Oliver Anthony's from as a former substitute teacher. It's [[HillbillyHorrors an angry little backwater so reactionary they were disputing the Civil Rights movement well after the fact]]. He outright says he understands how someone like Oliver Anthony might think of himself as a moderate centrist, or even somewhat liberal, when so many of the people he knows are statistically probably crazy ultra-right nutjobs.

* After the videos release Todd would reveal on [[https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/1740622661427081588?t=TY4H1_efgDUrfk1PXaGMnQ&s=19 Twitter]] that he almost managed to start filming when he finally realised that he ''forgot to put in an entry for number 4''!
** If the intro to the ''Best'' list is to be believed then not only did he accidentally start filming without a song for number 4 but he then had to ''improvise'' the David Guetta bit.

--->'''Dylan Scott:''' Take it from me, that’s the kind you need to find, [[ShockingSwerve you just can’t have mine…]]

* His increasingly defensive meltdowns at having ''three'' country songs on the list, which he knows a decent chunk of his audience will turn up their noses up at on pure principle, get more and more self-deprecating with each passing entry, especially when the first was [[CreatorsOddball made by a rapper outside the Nashville system]], the second [[NoTrueScotsman is a song country fans themselves reject as too rock to be properly considered country]], and the last (and highest ranked, even above the entry for a Music/KendrickLamar song) is by [[Music/SamHunt an artist (and former college quarterback)]] many country fans consider bastardizing the genre he's in altogether, as noted by the fact that he made one of the worst country songs of the last decade, "Body Like a Back Road". As a result, as presented by him, they are songs he thinks that not even the country fans in his audience will be happy about.

* On Oliver Anthony's "Rich Men North Of Richmond" Todd recounts how when he originally reviewed the song so many of Anthony's fans got mad at Todd for taking umbrage with the "fudge rounds" line, pointing out that the man released a video explaining what the line meant. Here, Todd gives his thoughts on said response:
--->'''Todd:''' Well, y'know I do try to be fair so in the interest of having a respectful dialogue I would ask in response [[ImmediateSelfContradiction are you fuckin' stupid?]] Do you not know what words mean?

** Todd describes Aldean as living in a fantasy world where all the cities are ''Film/DeathWish3'' and all the small towns are [[Series/TheAndyGriffithShow Mayberry]]. Although Todd notes that the latter isn't an apt comparison because Creator/AndyGriffith never threatened to [[PoliceBrutality pistol-whip anybody]].

** Todd illustrates Aldean's view of the protesters (who he does not seem to understand were even protesting rather than just out to loot and burn stuff) with [[{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}} Bender singing,]] [[Recap/FuturamaS2E9ABicyclopsBuiltForTwo "I love stealin'! I love takin' things!"]]
